Conflict has killed thousands and displaced millions as violence continues and man-made famine is looming.

The ongoing civil war in South Sudan has prompted millions of people to flee their homes in what the United Nations has now described as "Africa's worst refugee crisis". At least 1.5 million people have fled into neighbouring countries, mainly Uganda, since the conflict erupted in 2013.

"We are facing unprecedented needs, in an unprecedented number of locations, and these needs will increase during the upcoming lean season," said Eugene Owusu, the Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan.

Humanitarian organisations have estimate that some 7.5 million people across South Sudan are now in need of humanitarian assistance and protection.
